Methodology: Range is calculated using 30-day realized volatility via geometric Brownian motion (log-normal model). 68% band = ±1σ, 95% band = ±2σ. This is a statistical model, not a prediction. Past volatility does not guarantee future results. Not financial advice.
The company announced the dividend on October 21, 2026. Its shares began trading without entitlement to this payment on November 5, the same day as the record date.
What “ex-dividend” means
The ex-dividend date determines whether a share purchase qualifies for a declared dividend. Investors who held eligible shares before November 5 qualified for this payment. Buying shares on or after that date did not qualify the buyer for it.
The payment date is when the company is scheduled to pay the dividend. For this quarter, that date is November 19. See the Waste Connections stock page for company and share details.
Putting the dividend in context
Waste Connections’ trailing dividend yield is listed at 0.52%. This figure is based on past data and does not guarantee future income. The company’s dividend history shows 12 payments over about 3.2 years, with seven increases recorded. Past payments do not guarantee that future dividends will continue or rise.
For Canadian investors, dividends are only one part of a share’s total return. Changes in the share price also matter, and the dividend amount alone does not show how the stock will perform. Review the WCN.TO stock page as part of your own research before making an investment decision.
